asked the Minister for Finance if he would be prepared to give favourable consideration to a suggestion that Civil Servants and others who have retired under Article 10 of the Treaty should, if they so desire, be allowed to commute their pensions in exchange for an appropriate amount of stock of the forthcoming national loan.
